"During this engagement [on April 6th, 1862] Gage's battery was brought up to our assistance, but suffered so severely that it was soon compelled to retire." General Chalmers.

“In truth this battery of Gage's was a long way off on a slight elevation, and was very soon knocked to pieces and silenced by Grant's heavy batteries, and that was all the fight that ensued on this part of the line in the evening, except by skirmishers…” John W. Emerson, "Grant's Life in the West and His Mississippi Valley Campaigns," Midland Monthly, X, 5 (Nov. 1898), pp. 409-30.

After Shiloh, Lumsden’s Battery relieved Gage's battery at Tupelo. Gage’s Battery returned to Mobile for the remainder of the war. [More research would be necessary to determine if the battery was involved in the Battle of Mobile Bay, or any of the battles and skirmishes associate with the fall of Mobile.]
